Guide Sleeve Long For Dynamic Hip Screws

Description

Guide Sleeve Long For Dynamic Hip Screws

The DHS long guide sleeve keeps instruments on the lag screw axis through a deep approach. It also protects the surrounding soft tissue from rotating parts.

Centering and protection

The sleeve keeps the wrench or other instruments aligned with the reamed track. Meanwhile, it shields muscle from turning edges. As a result, insertion stays smooth and safe.

Long or short

This long sleeve suits larger patients and deeper approaches. By contrast, the short sleeve suits shorter distances. Furthermore, many sets include both.

Who uses the DHS long guide sleeve

Larger patients, with more tissue over the femur, need it most. Scrub staff fit it before the wrench goes in. Moreover, it lives on the DHS tray.

Using the sleeve

Slide the sleeve over the instrument and into the lateral cortex. Then advance the instrument through it. Keep the sleeve steady throughout.

Fit

Sleeve diameters match specific systems. Consequently, check your system before ordering. Besides, we will confirm compatibility.
